Toward policy coordination: alternatives to hierarchy
本文探讨政府面临的协调挑战,研究通过非等级制手段克服集体行动问题以实现政策协调的多种替代机制,并将其置于政治与组织背景中分析。
Coordination has been a continuing challenge to governments. This paper examines the nature of those challenges, and proceeds to consider the possibilities for a theory of coordination. In particular the paper considers means of overcoming the collective action problems involved in coordination through means other than hierarchy. Several alternative mechanisms for producing greater coordination in policy are examined, and then situated in their broader political and organisational contexts.
